An anonymous reader quotes a report from MacRumors:

_Apple [in iOS 14](https://apple.slashdot.org/story/20/06/22/1732213/apple-announces-ios-14-with-widgets-on-the-home-screen) added Picture in Picture to the iPhone, a feature designed to let you watch a video in a small screen on your device while you continue to do other things on the phone. The YouTube app doesn’t support Picture in Picture, but up until yesterday there was a functional workaround that allowed videos from [YouTube.com](http://YouTube.com) to be watched in Safari in Picture in Picture mode. As of today, [that workaround is gone](https://www.macrumors.com/2020/09/18/picture-in-picture-ios-14-youtube-safari/), and it’s not clear if it’s a bug or a deliberate removal. Attempting to use Picture in Picture on a video on the mobile YouTube website simply doesn’t work. Tapping the Picture in Picture button when in full screen mode pops the video out for a second, but it immediately pops back into the website, so it can’t be used as a Picture in Picture window. […] Picture in Picture appears to work on the mobile YouTube website in Safari for those who are YouTube Premium subscribers, which suggests that the restriction is intentional and not a bug._
